Hope all of you are doing great😊 For the last few weeks, I haven’t been keeping well, have tried my best to stay away from all social media channels to give my eyes some rest but couldn’t succeed! The sudden changes in weather & hormones have taken a toll on my health & skin and in between this; hubby & I celebrated our First-meet-cum-engagement anniversary on 9th December 😍.

So this post will be a quick review of pep de-tox face wash that I received in one of my subscription boxes a year back!

A few months back on completion of my 100th blog post, I asked my husband to check out my blog because he doesn’t follow NBAM that often! To be honest, his opinion matters to me as it was his support and guidance, I could start this blog two years back 😊. But after going through all the posts and the website design, all he noticed was- myshopping haul blog posts!! He literally started counting how much I spent on those products and asked me – honey, do you ever finish these products or you just keep buying things?? I got angry but then realized that it’s not his fault. Once a product gets emptied, I throw it right away without storing the container or taking its picture hence no proof! Since then, I have been collecting all the used empty product containers as evidence as well as to start this series called ‘Product Empties’ on my blog inspired by my fellow lovely bloggers.

I believe the simplest way to get an instant radiance by taking away all the grime & dullness from the skin is FACE PACK or FACE MASK. Although I love using freshly prepared homemade face packs yet on certain days when I feel like a sloth or in a terrible rush, I reach for ready-made face packs. Face packs not only help add a glow to our skin, sometimes it prevents acne as well! One of those face packs is Neem Face Pack and today, I shall be talking about my favourite Neem (Anti-dryness) Face Pack from our very own Indian brand AYUR HERBALS. So without further delay, let's straight jump into the review 😊.

Do you prefer trying out travel-size or sample products before investing in full-size stuff especially when it comes to skin and hair care? I do because this thing really helps us to decide whether a particular product is good enough to get its full-sized version as well as saves our hard-earned money from getting wasted! Another plus point of a travel-size product is its easy-to-carry packaging feature 😍 So today’s post is about the review of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and shower gel (all travel-size) from the Verbena range of L’Occitane brand 😊

Do you like Clay Masks? If yes, then this post is for you, read till the end😉 I am fond of clay face packs as not only they clarify the skin but are too good for treating various skin issues.

Since then, I have been using different versions of clay face packs to detoxify my skin😊

People who know me well and read my blog regularly, know that I love the rain. I love doing the rain dance, love the smell of soothing earthy scent after the rain and also like watching that misty sky; in short, I enjoy the rain😍. However, the weirdest part is that I don’t like this time of the year at all although I was born during Monsoon! Yeah, I know I’m sounding quite odd but that’s me😐 Trust me, I do have valid reasons for having this love & hate relationship with the rainy season. This is the season when my facial skin behaves bizarrely; hair becomes lacklustre and greasy to the power of nth, leave alone feet!! Grr 😡

Monsoon is generally characterised by a season with high level of humidity in the air, cool dusty winds along with obvious downpours.On oily skin, the humid weather causes excess sebum production that easily attracts dirt and impurities which eventually clogs the pores leading to skin breakouts. Again sometimes the same humidity dehydrates the skin making it look dull and stretchy. Remember, it is always advisable to change our skin & hair care regimen according to the changing seasons. I have already shared a post dedicated to monsoon haircare tips and today, I shall be talking about how we can take good care of our skin and health during monsoons😊

Tell me first, how many of you like dark glossy nail paints? If you have ever noticed my hands carefully you would’ve seen that they flaunt deep nail polish most of the times.

With due respect and humble submission, I Anamika Chattopadhyaya, today would like to talk about how we can keep our precious ornaments neat, clean and bright forever, without burning a hole in our pocket!

As a result, the jewellery pieces start to lose their charm and shine eventually, they look dull and rusty. To regain that glow and beauty of your precious ornaments, follow these below mentioned simple tips.
